Don't want to get your skills put down a few levels because you have been in jail...? Well, here is how to break out and keep those skill levels.

Steps

1

Okay, so you have committed a crime in a big town like Skingrad or Chorrol, there are guards everywhere so you cannot resist arrest, nor can you pay the fine because you don't have the money or you don't want to lose the money.

So, you go to jail, but do not serve your sentence.

You will now have to break out:

So you're in the cell, now, go into sneak mode and wait by the cell door and wait for the guard to go past you, when he does pick his pocket for the key through the jail cell door, (It mostly works if your sneak level is above 30) and unlock the door as the guard goes into the other room. Now quickly sneak out and head to the evidence chest where your equipment is held. Quickly grab your stuff and sneak out of the castle.
